VAT Calculator

Calculate Value Added Tax

VAT is added to the price of goods and services, and calculating it, or extracting it from an inclusive price, is a constant business task. This calculator adds VAT to a net price or removes it from a gross price at any rate.

Why removing VAT is not just subtracting the percentage

Adding VAT is simple, multiply by one plus the rate, but extracting the VAT already inside a gross price is where mistakes happen. Taking the rate off the gross is wrong, because the VAT was added to the net, not the gross. To reverse it you divide the gross by one plus the rate to get the net, and the difference is the VAT. Getting this right matters for invoicing, expenses and accounting, wherever you need to separate the tax from a VAT-inclusive figure correctly.

A planning estimate

This is an estimate for planning from the figures you enter, not financial or business advice. Real outcomes depend on factors beyond any single calculation, so treat the result as a guide. The calculation runs entirely in your browser, so your figures are never uploaded and stay on your own machine, which matters for business numbers you would not want to share.
